CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Dedicated UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-wide community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses who want expert support, practical learning, and a place to connect with colleagues who truly understand the realities of agency nursing.
We bring together more than 500 CHC agency nursing professionals through confidential, invite-only social media groups, online forums, and regular events, helping you build your career, expand your knowledge, and feel less isolated in a demanding role.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a relaxed but professional space where CHC agency nurses can:
- Share real-life CHC clinical and practice issues 24-7-365 in a safe, confidential environment.
- Ask questions and get peer-to-peer advice from experienced CHC nurses who understand your work.
- Develop your Continuing Healthcare knowledge and confidence through shared resources and events.
- Make genuine professional connections and friendships that last for years.
- Access CHC-focused training, updates and support tailored to agency nursing.
We know that only another nurse will truly appreciate the stress, responsibility, and emotional load that comes with nursing, especially in complex CHC environments—our network is built around that shared understanding.
